How enrollment works
Get in touch
Call the school or send an email. Tell us your child's age and the days you need. Open enrollment is currently offered. From there you can book a visit, in person or virtual.
Tour the room
See the classroom your child would join. Meet the teachers who run it. Choose the tour that suits your family, in person or virtual, and schedule it through the link. It is the best way to picture your child here.
Enroll and settle in
Complete the enrollment forms and plan a first week that suits your child's routine. Montessori believed young children up to age six take in the world around them as if by osmosis, so the room is prepared carefully. In those first days, we watch how your child settles and adjust alongside you.
What to have ready
Have your enrollment forms ready, along with a health form and immunization record. Add emergency contacts and the names of people allowed to pick up your child. Keep the list current as the year goes on.
Pack a change of clothes and outdoor gear for the season. Label everything with your child's name. A comfort object, such as a small blanket or soft toy, can come too and stay nearby.
Before the first day, agree on the drop-off routine and who will pick up your child. Tell us how you would like to hear about the day. We can take questions as they come, at pickup or by email.
The first weeks
The first days are often shorter while your child gets used to the room. Your familiar object travels from home to school. A teacher greets your child by name at the door and stays close.
At pickup, a teacher tells you how the day went. Families often hear about the first snack, the work chosen, or a moment outdoors. Settling usually takes a few days and can ebb and flow, so ask whatever you need.

HoursChildren arrive at school between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m.
What families ask
What about tuition?
Ask about current rates when you call or tour. They depend on your child's age and schedule.
What ages do you take?
Children from children from three to six years old.
Can we visit before deciding?
Yes. A tour is how most families decide, and children are welcome to come along.
What should my child bring on the first day?
Families usually pack a complete change of clothes in case of spills or wet weather, a comfort item for rest time, and indoor shoes that stay at school. Everything should be labelled with your child's name. A water bottle and a lunch, if your child stays for the full day, are also helpful.
How do you handle the first weeks?
The first days are often shorter while your child adjusts. A familiar object from home can stay nearby, and a teacher greets your child by name. At pickup, a teacher tells you how the day went and what your child chose to do.
What does a typical day include?
Children arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 a. m. and settle into the classroom. The morning is built around play and learning in the prepared environment. At 2:45, the children get ready to go outdoors, and between 3:00 and 3:30 p. m. most children go home. Others stay for the after school program.
How will I know how my child is doing?
Teachers talk with families at pickup about how the day went. If you want to know more, ask, and a teacher will tell you. Messages can also be left by phone or email.
Do you offer part-time or flexible schedules?
Schedules depend on the age group and what openings we have. Ask us what is available for your child, and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if there is no place right now?
You can ask to be told when a place opens for your child's age. Tell us your child's age and the days you need so we can keep you in mind.
What should I ask on the tour?
Ask about hours, meals, and how pickups work. Ask how the first weeks are handled when a child is new to the room. Ask what a day looks like, from arrival to the time your child goes home.
